Virtual Symposium

From Pixels to Building Models:

Using AI to Estimate Tumor Spatial Transcriptomics from Histology Slides

June 7, 2025
11:30 – 1:30 PM EDT
Online

Spatial transcriptomics holds enormous potential in oncology research by mapping gene expression within spatial tissue context. But generating this data is expensive, slow, and not always scalable.

To tackle this challenge, the Global AI Hackathon 2025 by Elucidata invited data scientists and ML practitioners worldwide to build AI models that could predict tumor gene expression directly from histology (H&E) slides.

We'll be marking the finish line of the Global AI Hackathon with a Symposium on Spatial Transcriptomics.
